Cindy..... I am just now hearing about Roy. You must be devastated. This will be a sadder world without him. He will be greatly missed. He always, always had a kind word to say to me along with a big smile. I send you a warm hug. Jaynie

I am so sorry to read about Roy's death. I have fond memories of Roy's family. My parents visited often with them. My father and Eric shared stories of life in Finland.

Ahh I am very sad to hear this news. We joked about being neighbors (20 blocks between us), I truly enjoyed his friendship and his commitment to the community and neighborhood.

That smile. That was Roy. Loving thoughts to Cindy and family and appreciation for sharing Roy with our community and its projects for so many years. -Ginger Metcalf
